Ability to add "lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules

An option to add "geometry lock points" in the geometries with higher priority than the usual rules would be really useful to make the geometry behave as you wish. As an example it could be the center point of a radius so that the radius keeps it ...

Add "Make Active Profile" checkbox to all element profiles tools

Every command in the vertical group in the geometry tab should have a checkbox inside to automatically make it the active one. This way the user won't have to open the profile in a view and select it. Pretty simple and would save a lot of work..

Geometry manipulator handles on offsets do not overlap with manipulator text with zero offset

Currently when offsetting elements, different manipulator handles appear, however unless you go into the preferences and changes the arrow manipulator size, it is very difficult or impossible to select the trim/extend manipulator handle because it...

Include the ability to use the slope of a terrain when placing a Geometry Point

This would be good for 3D modelling of any item that needs to slope the same as the design surface such as guard fence terminals. This is available within the Drainage and Utilities, but when using this it loads a lot of other information into the...

Text file input for beam layouts and bridge geometry or bgs input

It would be nice if we could input a text file that contains all geometry information into the program and it would be created automatically

Make profile active without opening profile view

It would be useful if some of the profile tools (quick profile from surface, profile from surface, etc) had a toggle to allow the profile to be set as active when it is created. This would make it more efficient in cases like when you need to crea...

Display profile rules in plan view

It's difficult to see which geometry elements are connected or ruled via persist snaps in the element profile. Add profile dynamic annotation and elevation dynamic fields to plan view. Add profile persist snap glyphs in plan view to show the conne...

Export Geometry XML from Read Only File

We have many users on the survey side that need to quickly jump in a design file and export out an alignment xml for staking. Non-Roadway users do not have write access to these files and the export geometry tool cannot be used in a read only file...

Add ability for Geometry build to automate station equations when joining complex geometry

In the Geometry Builder Edit, I can pick multiple geometry complex alignments and add them to create a 'combined' geometry. When I pick the multiple geometry elements and combine them, it starts with the alignment stationing of the first selected ...

Add an option to place endpoint instead of start point in the "line/arc from element" tools

It is normally very difficult to know where to place the start point to get the next element where you want it, especially when there are transition curves involved. To place the endpoint of the element and let the start point move would be much e...
